Re: [SR-Dev] script parsing: string switch support

There are the following restriction: - case labels must be static (no vars allowed) - in the same switch you can have only one type of case labels: strings or integers (1) - the first case label sets the required type for all the others (so if your first case label is a string => all the other must be strings, if it's an integer all the other must be integers). (1) - could be changed in some cases (e.g. string case with some int label allowed, which could be automatically converted to string), but I think it would too confusing and I disallowed it (in general having mixed types in a switch() are 99% an error). I still think that using a different switch() name for strings will be less confusing (e.g. switch() for integers and match() for strings). Any opinion on how to differentiate regular expressions from strings? Right now a '/' in front means a regular expression (but there's no way to specify case insensitive match for example). Warning: the while works only with integers :-) Andrei
